Year of Fearless Writing
You write. I mean, that’s why you’re here. But how often do you say “I’m a writer?” And what’s the difference between “I write” and “I’m a writer” anyway?
Our Year of Fearless Writing is focused on the craft of being a writer. We’ll take you through subjects like how to submit, developing a professional presence, finding and working with professionals, and what it takes to get your story, essay, or novel in the right place at the right time, so that by this time next year you’ll be able to say “I’m a writer” with confidence.
To follow along, start at the bottom with the “Prologue” post, and work your way up!
